**1. SUMMARY**
The Emerging Security Challenges ( ESC ) Division provides a coordinated approach for NATO to the emerging security challenges of the 21st Century. It serves as NATO HQ’s focal point for innovation, cyber and hybrid, energy, data science and counter-terrorism. The Division also promotes security cooperation on these challenges through a variety of programmes, in NATO, with Partner nations and with other International Organisations.
The Innovation Unit is responsible for driving forward innovation at NATO Headquarters. It helps to ensure that the Alliance understands the policy and practical implications of emerging and disruptive technologies, is prepared for the opportunities that they bring, and can mitigate the risks that they might pose. The Unit helps identifying innovation priorities to pursue, including by cross-matching developing technologies with the most pressing decision-making, operational and capability development needs. The Unit contributes to eliminating barriers to innovation, whether these are policy or process-related constraints. The Unit also oversees the establishment and development of the NATO Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA) as well as the NATO Innovation Fund.
The Head of the Unit has a key role to play in overseeing all the various cross-cutting issues, as well as managing the team.
